This French Girl Just Taught Us How to Dress Like a Parisian for Autumn 2020
In Paris, we have to do a lot of walking. That’s why everything is chic but still very practical. I swear: Every Parisian woman owns trainers, Chelsea boots, and a trench coat, and that’s mostly what we pair with jeans. Recently, I’ve also been seeing lots of cardigans and sleeveless knit vests—which seem like the perfect transitional piece—paired with jeans. The key is really making simple, minimal pieces still feel interesting. For me, it’s all about colour combinations, fabrics, and fit; and then adding a finishing touch with great accessories. If I have a plain T-shirt and jeans with a brown belt, I’ll pair that with a brown coat or match my T-shirt to my outerwear for a tonal look that keeps things modern. I have to say, Gap does some of my favourite T-shirts. They’re slightly thicker...
These Are the 23 Results-Driven Moisturisers You Need to Know
It seems that serums have stolen some of the spotlight away from moisturisers. There’s always a new serum or treatment that grabs the attention of beauty fans, but when’s the last time you heard someone raving about a moisturiser? Honestly, though, if you find a high-performance moisturiser that you get on with, then your skin is in for a treat. Unfortunately, the most results-driven ones in the bunch can usually be found in anti-ageing category, a term that surely we need to move past now. But as our skin changes over the course of our lives, our product requirements also change. Ultimately, what we’re looking for here are moisturisers that actually do the job and can team up with us to work with our skin concerns. Everyone has their thing, whether that...

London Fashion Week Was Equal Parts Inspiring and Disappointing
Rixo SS21 London Fashion Week looked very different this season, and in a way it also looked the same. As we move deeper into the digital era, and wrestle with the social ills of our times, some fashion brands stepped up to the plate, while others were expectedly tone-deaf. The trends that we’ll be seeing in spring and summer 2021 are always at the centre of the conversation, but this season we’re also exploring how digital limitations and social expectations are creating a greater demand for narrative and vision. “Digital Fashion Week has shifted our focus from how the clothes look and who will be wearing them, to what the clothes mean and who will be making them” London Fashion Week being forced to go fully digital was a new challenge for designers. The virtual ex...
Consider This Your Ultimate Toolkit To Combat Autumn Dryness
Forget about the leaves falling, the crispness of the air and pumpkin and cinnamon flavoured everything. A sure way to work out if its nearly autumn or not, is in the gradual arrival of dry areas. Lips, knees, elbows and hands, all succumb to autumnal dryness. I’m not sure if it’s all the staying at home or hand-washing, but I’ve been plagued by all of these new patches of dryness. The wonderful upside is that some of my all-time favourite products are lip balms, hand creams and multi-purpose balms. Ever since my mum taught me when I was younger to use hand cream after every single hand wash and before bed, I’ve been hooked. The same goes for lips, I always have at least three lip balms on my person at all times and I’m rotating between a few do-it-...
This Product Is the Recipe for Glowing Skin, and You’ll Find It in Your Fridge
I’m quite happy to apply products with ingredients that I can’t pronounce or don’t understand to my face, but I always drew the line at ingesting them. I’d roll my eyes at the aisles of supplements in the organic supermarket and ignore my friends’ suggestions about their latest inner-beauty buys. Then, I started working with a nutritional therapist, and, well, I am quite literally eating my words and a whole bunch of supplements. As I’ve been seeing the results in all areas of my life, especially hormone health, I thought I’d make my way into the world of inner/outer-beauty supplements to see what lies there. The Beauty Chef team members are the experts in this field and believe that “beauty begins in the belly.” T...
The 4 Trends This Parisian Mother Borrows From Her Daughters
What’s better than one chic Parisian? How about an entire family of well-dressed French women? I’ve been following sisters Salomé and Tamara Mory on Instagram for quite some time, but I recently discovered that their mother, Elisabeth Mory, is equally stylish. Curious about the Mory matriarch’s style, I interviewed Elizabeth about her favourite autumn outfits and shopping methods. “When it comes to my personal style, I would not describe myself as a fashionista,” Elizabeth told Who What Wear. “I have only a small list of brands that I love and then I buy the same dress, top, or pair of jeans in different versions. I am a less-is-more kind of person. So my ideal outfit is a good pair of jeans, the perfect T-sh...
The H&M Studio Collection Is Here, and It’s the Best One Yet
H&M never holds back when it comes to its Studio Collection, and what a collection it is this season. While we probably all feel a little gloomy right now, this season’s Studio Collection is just the nostalgia fest we need. Heavily influenced by the ’70s, most notably David Bowie‘s style, this is a collection that’s ideal for party season—in whatever form that might take this year. It consists of classic suiting in bold colours such as emerald green and cyan blue. The over-the-top flounced organza blouses in David Bowie–inspired blue, pink, and black are set to be surefire crowd-pleasers. And then there are the (even) more overt party pieces such as a glittery maroon shirt and trousers combo and a blue sequin gown that has emphasised shoulders. Y...
Glamping, Anyone? The North Face and Gucci Collaborate For a Luxury Outdoor Experience
The North Face is teaming up with Gucci for a clothing collaboration that celebrates the great outdoors. The Italian luxury giant teased an upcoming capsule collection with the American outdoor recreation company on Instagram with a series of videos focusing on a white flag with The North Face x Gucci logo. This will be Gucci’s first collaboration with another clothing brand.

Gucci is not familiar with designing technical outerwear, ...

You’d Never Guess This Autumn Accessories Collection Had a High-Street Price Tag
Here at Who What Wear, we like to think of it as our responsibility to report on must-have pieces and names to know, and we’ve recently found ourselves writing article after article on the sell-out sway of some of Charles & Keith’s cult styles. The last few seasons have seen the brand toted at global fashion weeks—the ultimate seal of approval, especially given the ubiquity of designer styles in such an environment. We have high hopes, then, for the new autumn collection which has just dropped. From modern ballerina flats and chic transitional loafers to trend-ticking strappy sandals we’d happily risk frostbite for, this release appears to be no different from its über-successful predecessors.

8 Brands That Are Helping Us Rethink The Concept of Secondhand
In 2012, when I studied abroad at the University of Texas at Austin, I became somewhat obsessed with shopping secondhand. During the time that I probably should have spent in the library, my friends and I would trawl through the city’s unique thrift stores, tracking down and trying on the best items we could find. Whether it was a 1980s-style Christian Dior purple power suit complete with covered buttons and padded shoulders, or simply a floral cotton dress that looked like it belonged on the set of Dawson’s Creek, we were always elated with our diamond in the rough finds. While I am embarrassed to admit it, at the time my secondhand shopping habit had very little to do with sustainability or the environment and much more to do with budget and perc...
